It means that even with easy access to all the necessay information you can't build a rocket if you don't know how to do it.

You can learn how to do it, but that just means transferring the information from the outside into your brain.

You are not able to meaningfully reason (think) about a topic if you don't know anything about it and I show you the Wikipedia page. Easy access to data is useful if you know what to do with it.
